We now continue the use of organic chemistry reaction roadmaps. Because of the unique nature of the new reactions presented, we recommend that you make a new roadmap only for Chapters 20–23.
To make your own roadmap for Chapters 20–23, take a blank sheet of paper and write the following functional groups in the orientations shown. Fill the entire sheet of paper and leave plenty of room between functional groups. Most students find it helpful to use a poster-sized sheet of paper filled out in landscape orientation.
Interpretation:
A reaction roadmap has to be made for the reactions in the study Guide sections of chapters 20-23.
Concept Introduction:
Aromatic substitutions:
Aromatic substitution can be of two types, those are electrophilic and nucleophilic. Aromatic electrophilic substitution is an organic reaction in which an atom that is attached to an aromatic system is replaced by an electrophile. For example nitration, sulphonation, acylation, alkylation, halogenation to aromatic ring is aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction.
Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions are those reactions where nucleophile replaces a good leaving group.
Sigmatropic reaction:
A sigmatropic reaction is a pericyclic reaction where the net result is change of one sigma bond to another sigma bond in an uncatalysed intramolecular process.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction road maps for the reactions in the study Guide section of chapters (20-23) will help us to find out the reactions in easy way. The section number indicates the respective reaction segments involved in the study guide section.

Reaction 20.1:
Electrophilic addition to conjugate diene:
Conjugated diene undergoes both 1,2-addition and 1,4-addition reactions with electrophiles often giving mixtures of both kinds of products. The ratio of 1,2-addition to 1,4-addition is temperature dependent. 1,2-addition products are kinetically controlled product and 1,4 addition products are thermodynamically controlled product. When a conjugated diene reacts with
Reaction 20.2:
Diels-Alder reaction:
Conjugated dienes react with certain type of molecules having double or triple bonds, known as dienophile, to form two new sigma bond and a ring structure on the lose of pi bond in a reaction called Diels-Alder reaction. This reaction takes place in a concerted mechanism without intermediates and involves a redistribution of six pi electrons in a cyclic transition state where the pi bond breaking and new sigma bond making occurs simulteneously. The configuration of the diene and dienophile is preserved. Formation of the endo adduct is favoured. This reaction is facilitated by having electron withdrawing groups on dienophile and electron donating groups on diene. The diene must be on s-cis conformation to react. Diels-Alder reaction is an example of
Reaction 20.3:
Claisen rearrangement:
The Claisen rearrangement is a powerful carbon-carbon bond forming chemical reaction. This rearrangement transforms an allyl phenyl ether to an ortho-substituted phenol. This rearrangement is an exothermic, concerted pericyclic reaction. The kinetics are first order and the whole transformation proceeds through a highly ordered cyclic transition state and it is intramolecular.

Kolbe synthesis is a carboxylation chemical reaction that involves heating of sodim phenoxide with carbon dioxide and then treating the final product with sulfuric acid. This is basically nucleophilic addition of phenoxide to carbon dioxide that gives substituted cyclohexadienone which undergoes keto-enol tautomerism to regenerate aromatic ring. This gives maily ortho product which is known as salicylic acid.

Reaction 21.5:
Halogenation at benzylic position:
Halogenation is regioselective for benzylic position and occurs by a radical chain mechanism. Bromination shows higher regioselectivity for a benzylic position than does chlorination. The reaction occurs via a radical chain mechanism which is initiated when the halohen molecule undergoes homolytic cleavage and gives two halide radical. One of the radical abstracts the benzylic hydrogen to create a resonance stabilised benzylic radical that reacts with another molecule of halogen to give the halogenated product and the new radical continues the chain reaction. NBS is used as the source of bromine.
Reaction 21.6:
Hydrogenolysis of benzylic ethers:
Bezylic ethers can be cleaved to give an alcohol or toluene using catalytic hydrogenation of (

Therefore, a strong base can abstract the acidic hydrogen atom of the alcohol in a process known as deprotonation. The alcohol forms an alkoxide ion by losing the proton attached to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl ( -OH) group. The alkoxide formed can act as a base or a nucleophile depending on the substrate and reaction conditions. However, not all bases can abstract the acidic proton of alcohols and not all alcohols easily lose the proton. Deprotonation depends on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol. Strong bases, such as NaNH2, can easily abstract a proton from almost all alcohols. Likewise, more acidic alcohols lose a proton more easily. Determine which of the following reactions would undergo deprotonation based on the strength of the base and the acidity of the alcohol.
